Powys seized the largest amount of goods through their four raids which did not include the counterfeit cigarettes or tobacco which were also found in the county.

Trading standards officers from Powys council said they also uncovered a “sizeable network of sales of counterfeit tobacco” which ran “into the millions”.

Alison Farrar, who leads Wales Heads of Trading Standards, said its officers had urged shoppers to be “alert and aware” when it came to buying presents in the run up to Christmas.

“Counterfeiting is a serious crime which can have a real impact upon our communities, and the seizure of this large haul of counterfeit goods across Wales is the result of a lot of hard work by a number of different organisations all working together to ensure these items don't end up for sale,” she said.
